I am looking for information on the family of Dr. Samuel R. McKELVEY born April 1861 in Indiana, son of John McKelvey. I am particularly interested in where and when Samuel died, where he is buried, and what happened to his children. On 22 Nov 1884 when Samuel R. was 23, he married Mary Ann RENTSCHLER, daughter of Michael RENTSCHLER Sr. (1 Apr 1819-1893) & Elizabeth Catherine SCHMALTZ (10 Nov 1825-1875), in Owen Co., Indiana. Mary Ann was born in 1865 in Owen Co., Indiana and died in Marion Twp., Owen Co., Indiana on 19 May 1891, when she was 26. She is buried in Liechty Cem., Clay City, Clay Co., Indiana. Dr. Samuel and Mary Ann McKelvey had the following children: i. Florence (1886-) ii. Troy (1888-) From the 1900 Indiana Census, Owen Co., Marion Twp., ED 115, SH 1 McKelvey, Samuel R. Apr 1861 age 39 born in Indiana Florence Apr 1886 age 14 born in Indiana Troy V. Sep 1888 age 11 born in Indiana If anyone has any knowledge of this family or descendants, I would certainly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you! John Klingler

I don't know if you are awrare of Sink Cemetery in Clay Co, just south of Clay City, IN, but I just read the entire cemetery and took pictures of each stone for the CCGS. I am in the process of organizing and typing it up for print. The Society will have the pictures for sale as well as the cemetery book in the near future. There are several Schmaltz in that cemetery. If you are tracing that line also, you would definitely want to purchase this book from them. This cemetery is not far from the Owen County line. If you contact the Society they can tell you if they have any or your McKelvey or Rentchler lines listed in their information. They do research for people there also. > I am looking for information on the family of Dr. Samuel R. McKELVEY born > April 1861 in Indiana, son of John McKelvey.
